News / Nunn Road / 2022 / March 2022

 Dear Parents, 

February was a hectic month for us at Nania as some teachers got Covid-positive. We thank you for your understanding and support throughout the process of our handling the situation. We are deeply touched by your prayers and kind thoughts. We are glad that no children and other staff were affected.

6 children from the Japanese Class graduated in March. They stood upright and confident during their Graduation Ceremony. We wish them all the best in their future undertakings.

Teachers were very happy to come back to Nania again after the March holidays. We have started preparing for New Life Celebration. Kitchen staff are busy wrapping the peanuts as small eggs. Other teachers  are practicing the New Life puppet show. Some of you may have heard from your child that we welcomed two baby rabbits. Some children call the white fur red eye rabbit as “White Princess” and  the rabbit with brown patch as “Chocolate Milk”. They are so adorable and added joy to the New Life Celebration preparation.

The children started to practice songs and poems for the Sports Day too. There are lots of movements. Children also do some exercises and  games. We trust the joy from the activities will nourish a healthy body for the children.

As the children welcome their new friends to the class with open hands  and warm hearts, we believe the new children will be able to settle down to the space happily soon.

 Celebration of New Life (22nd April 2022)

At Nania, we celebrate New Life/Easter as a form of new life being born. In the case of flowers, new life starts from the bud, which sprouts and grows. With chickens, for example, new life begins when chicks hatch from eggs and grow into adult poultry.

During our New Life celebration, the children will colour eggs in the morning and then watch a puppet show performed by the teachers. The main story line is the transformation of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly to reflect our celebration of new life.

In the story, a young girl befriends a caterpillar. But alas one day, she is unable to find the caterpillar. On seeing her plight, a friendly rabbit takes her to a beautiful garden where she sees a beautiful butterfly flying about. The rabbit tells her that her caterpillar friend has now transformed into that colourful butterfly. At the end of the puppet show, the children will recite an Easter poem which is in the song sheet enclosed with this newsletter.

After that, the children will begin to hunt for the big and small eggs (peanuts) in the garden. The kitchen staff will hide the eggs during the puppet show. The eggs that they find will be given to the kitchen staff to be served for lunch.

At the end of the day, they will bring home the eggs that they coloured that morning.
